Global Transfection Reagents and Equipment Market: Snapshot

Transfection involves the conscious introduction of nucleic acid molecules into eukaryotic cells. Some of the most common examples of transfection include introducing DNA plasmids possessing gene inserts for expression and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The transfection processes help researchers conduct research studies on synthetic genetics, enabling them modulate gene expressions. For decades, transfection techniques are used as viable analytical tools to facilitate the study of genetic functions, protein synthesis, cell growth and development. The choice of the transfection reagent is mainly motivated by the type of cell and the existing culture conditions for the assay. Cationic lipid-based reagents are the prominent means of transfection and suitable to most cell types. However, for hard-to-transfect cell lines viral-mediated transduction may serve as an excellent alternative, with the additional option of sharing a stable cell line.

The use of polyethylenimine (PEI) as a stable cationic polymer is gaining prominence for several small- and large-scale transient expressions in mammalian cells. PEI is preferred over other transfection reagents due to its low cost and the generation of rapid results. One of the key applications of using PEI in mammalian eukaryotic system is to facilitate the expression of protein systems. Furthermore, the reagent is appropriate for two types of suspension cell lines-HEK 293 GnTi and CHO-S. The only prerequisites for carrying out the transfection process are the preparation of sterile high-quality DNA and the gene to be modulated should be transformed into a recA- strain of Escherichia coli. Subsequently, commercially available endotoxin-free kits help researchers in the isolation of the plasmid DNA on a wide scale, thereby enable them to produce high-quality DNA.

Global Transfection Reagents and Equipment Market: Overview

Transfection is one of the key research efforts leading the studies in synthetic genetics. While transfections can result in the formation of abnormal cells and unpredictable morphologies, the process can also be used to study the formation of genetic make-up and to transform cell structures through their deliberate infection.
